Those with Nova Scotia Connections use the spelling “Crozier”.

Subject: [CUL] Surname CROZER/CROSIER/CROZIER from Longtown, Arthuret Parish
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2002 14:19:28 -0600
Hi List,
It’s time to start tackling my CROSIER (+ alternative spellings) ancestors.
My 2x Great Grandmother was ELIZABETH CROZER (spelled this version on
marriage listing in IGI), born c1812 Arthuret Parish. Elizabeth married
EDWARD TURNBULL 22 Mar 1833 Arthuret Parish.
I haven’t found a listing for Elizabeth’s baptism in the IGI under any of
the above spellings. However, I believe her parents are DANIEL and JANE
CROSIER. My source for this is the 1851 Census for Longtown where WILLIAM
TURNBULL (eldest child of Edward & Elizabeth) is living with his
grandparents: the above mentioned Crosiers. Daniel is listed as a Handloom
Weaver.
Taking things back further, there is a listing in the IGI for the marriage
of DANIEL CROSIER and JANE JOHNSTON on 14 Feb 1812 at Arthuret Parish, and
that there are other listings on the IGI for Daniel Crosier from both
Arthuret and from Lanercost.
Anyone out there researching this surname, particularly from the Longtown
area?
Regards,
Tom Rennebaum

Hi Tom,
I too am interested in the CROZIER/CROZER surname, as I have an ancestor who
married a Margaret CROZIER in Carlisle in 1757. I suspect she was born as
Margaret CROSER in that area in 1723 to Robert CROSER and Elizabeth RAILTON,
but I have little other information.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the information. I will keep it in a folder in case I find out
more about this surname. Surely, there are more of us interested in this
name.
While going through the archives for this list I came across a Jacqueline
Chisick who is researching this name, particularly around Wigton. Have you
had any contact with her? I tried, but my email bounced; assume she has
changed her email address and may not even be subscribing to this list any
more.
Of possible interest to you is another Crozier researcher who has ties to
Carlisle that I came across in the archives. Have you had contact with “Ian”
<[email protected]>? Again, don’t know if this email address is current.
Regards,
Tom

just curious and have no family members with this name but I have often
wondered about its origins.
Does it suggest that the family are descended from (celibate ha ha) medieval
clergy or is it something else entirely?

Hi All,
This a name which has long concerned me, though I have at the moment no
known family links.
There has been a tendency, paricularly in England, to follow the routes of
‘classical’ scholarship and seek Latin or Norman explanations for names and
words. We’ll probably never be certain but the derivation from ‘staff
bearer’ is the accepted wisdom. However, in the 15th Century the Crozier,
etc. Clan were concentrated at the head of the valley of the R. Liddell an
area which in earlier times was dominated by a Brythonic tribe called the
Selgovae. These people like most in this part of Scotland and Northern
England spoke a type of ‘Old Welsh’, probably not dissimilar from Cumbric. I
continue to wonder whether the origin of this name does not come from
Creoso, ‘Welcome’, in Welsh ? Certainly if they had sustained their
geographic position their position amongst the peaks of the the likes of
Caddroun Fell and Penygant Hill would make it appropriate for them to be
titled ‘the Welcomers’

Roy

Hi all,
Well, some of you folks never cease to amaze me, both with your wisdom and
with your wit!! Looks like there has been a little of both in the comments
concerning some of my ancestors.
I promise not to take it too personally 🙂 even though at times I’ve been
accused of “bearing a cross”.
By the way, I am relatively new to this particular list, to investigating
this part of the country, to the term “Border Reivers”, etc. Hadn’t gotten
around to the point where I wondered about the derivation of the surname. My
next step is to get a copy of “The Steel Bonnets” by Fraser to see what some
of you folks were up to in the past. Suspect that some of you still engage
in that kink of behavior! Just goes to prove that genealogy is much more
than just plugging names into a database, although at this point in time I
wouldn’t mind being able to do that, too.
Thanks, one and all for your input. Anybody out there actually know any
Crosiers/Croziers/Crozers?

Hi Tom,
Not currently no, however in my youth in Liddesdale they were known by trade
as ‘cloggers’ and shoerepairers. Hope this helps.

Hi Sarah,
This is a good example of what I was trying, in my halting way, to explain.
English history on the classical level is dominated by the Romans and the
Normans. One could be very tempted to believe that both groups moved into a
desolate wilderness inhabited by some sort of sub-human species. This was
definately not the case. What exactly is the evidence for the Crozier’s
coming with William the Conqueror?

Shhh…..don’t tell Roy Perkins, I’m in disguise. I snuck back in to google for the “C” roster of 1066, and I couldn’t find the Croziers anywhere, Tom!! See whut trubbl
you got me into?
But I did find something pretty cool, at one of my very favorite history websites, with music even, http://www.thenortheast.fsnet.co.uk/Surnames%20of
%20North%20East%20England.htm
“Across the border lived the Armstrongs and in Liddesdale the Croziers who were at feud with the Redesdale family called Reed. Parcy Reed, the leader of the
Reeds was the Keeper of Redesdale and his appointment aroused the jealousy of the Halls who cunningly invited Parcy to join them on a hunt, knowing that a
Crozier raid was imminent. Parcy was invited to the home of the Halls where, unknown to him they jammed his sword in its scabbard and dampened the workings
of his gun. The next day Parcy and three Halls set off hunting and stumbled upon a raiding party of Croziers at the Carter Bar. As keeper of Redesdale, Parcy felt
he must stand up to the Scottish raiders but the Halls refused to assist. In the words of ‘The Ballad of Parcy Reed’ the Halls explained. ‘We mayna stand, we canna
stand, We dairna stand alang with thee. The Croziers had thee at a feud And they would kill baith thee and we’ . Riding forth alone to challenge the Crosiers Parcy
failed to release his sword an!
d his gun would not fire. The bloodthirsty ballad claims the Crosier’s left poor old Parcy with thirty three wonds and no hands and feet. For centuries the treachery
of the Halls was despised throughout the Border country.”

Hi Sarah,
The ‘Ha’s o’ Gironsfield’ is an interesting ballad, isn’t it. Even into the
19th century many of the Halls would not admit to their surname because of
the reputation they had as a result of this treachery.
The Croziers certainly had a reputation for fierceness and savagery, as did
the Selgovae, probably partly as a result of the terrain they inhabited;
they had to be hard men.

Hi Liz,
Thank-you for the generosity of your comments; however what I advanced is
not wisdom, not even knowledge, just an attempt to put forward an
alternative proposition to provoke people into thinking about ‘history’ in a
less one-dimensional way.
Nevertheless I thank you.

There are 3 CROZIER mentioned in the principal inhabitants of Cumberland in
1847.

Crosier-Crozier, and Elwood-Ellwod of Cumberland.
It is found that the Elwood-Ellwood are mainly in Cumberland, and share the same shield of the York Ellwood, and Gorrenberry Elwald-Ellot.
The words wold-would in Yorkshire meant moorland, but in Cumberland it was in English-English wood, so the names out of Yorkshire, Elwold, and Elwould evolved into the Cumberland Elwood then Ellwood.
